Iman appears to endorse Harris/Walz

Iman appears to have endorsed the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign through social media posts on September 20th. The post shows Iman, the iconic supermodel, in a series of photos wearing a gray sweatshirt with “Kamala” written in blue and red lettering, signaling her support for Harris. In her original Instagram post, which was also shared on Facebook, Iman wrote, “Voting is an honor and a privilege, and democracy works best when everyone participates. Don’t forget to register… and vote,” tagging @kamalaharris and including the hashtag #HarrisWalz2024.

This aligns Iman with a group of high-profile celebrities endorsing Harris for the 2024 election. Taylor Swift endorsed Harris earlier this month following Harris’ dominating debate performance against Donald Trump, praising her leadership and commitment to key causes . Oprah Winfrey also backed Harris during the 2024 Democratic National Convention, highlighting the historic significance of her candidacy . Other prominent figures include Olivia Rodrigo, who shared a video of Harris’s speech against Trump’s abortion bans, and George Clooney, who voiced his support for Harris after calling for Biden to step down. Barbra Streisand, John Legend, Spike Lee, Aaron Sorkin, Ken Burns, Rosie O’Donnell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charli XCX, and Cardi B have also publicly expressed their endorsement, emphasizing Harris’s leadership on issues like reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and more.

Iman, of course, is the widow of David Bowie. Both David Bowie’s estate and his son, Duncan Jones, expressed opposition to Donald Trump’s use of Bowie’s music during his campaign rallies. Jones publicly tweeted his disapproval, making it clear that they did not want Bowie’s music associated with Trump. This stance echoed actions taken by other artists and estates like Foo Fighters, the estate of Isaac Hayes, The Rolling Stones, Queen, and Tom Petty’s estate, who issued formal objections or cease-and-desist orders to prevent the unauthorized use of their music in political settings.
